Investing in Our Children

Through the years, Hilltop families and friends have worked together to support the school’s commitment to quality education—providing the resources to ensure academic excellence that helps our students attain responsible independence. As an independent, nonprofit school, Hilltop counts on generous contributions to cover annual operating expenses and make essential capital improvements.

Annual Gifts are the gifts we live by…

At Hilltop, tuition covers only 85% of the school’s expenses. Contributions through the Annual Appeal,Friends of Hilltop Benefit Auction, and the Wheeler Fund have an immediate, positive impact and are used to:

  • Update and expand our academic curriculum and offer a wide array of extracurricular activities
  • Offer competitive salaries and professional development opportunities to retain and attract faculty of the highest caliber
  • Maintain reasonable and competitive tuition levels
  • Support tuition assistance for our families
  • Upgrade technology, fund educational materials acquisitions, and maintain facilities
  • And sustain the vitality of our school on a daily basis

Capital Gifts are the gifts we grow by…

Throughout our history, Hilltop has raised funds for major capital initiatives that require large sums of money above and beyond our yearly operating budget. Generous giving to the Capital Campaign enabled us to build our brand new school and will support the future renovation of the Community Arts and Recreation Barn.
